Technical Diploma Courses

Our Technical Diploma courses are recognized by local and international universities, professional bodies and employers. We train for KNEC certification using current technology and latest equipment. We also equip our graduates with the latest tools and software in Geospatial technology.

Diploma in Land Surveying

This course combines engineering, architecture and geography skills to establish boundaries of land, water and airspace to determine property ownership, development and use. Professionals in this field use new and developing technologies such as GPS, satellite imagery, laser scanning and fast computing to create complex layers of interconnected geographic information. Today surveyors can measure position very accurately. Geospatial information constantly reveals new insights about our world and our place in it.

Career opportunities: Graduates in this course work in various fields including emergency services, urban planning, health, the management of natural resources, insurance, transport planning, telecommunications, with Google and with the United Nations.

Course duration: Two and half years equivalent to eight term

Certification: KNEC (Examination and Certificate)

Tuition fee: ksh. 33,750 per term. Total: ksh. 270,000, or 3,000USD

Minimum Qualification: KCSE. Main grade. C- (minus) with D+ in any two subjects (Mathematics, Physics, Geography or English)

Career Development: Graduates of this course can further their studies in local and international universities and enroll in relevant degree programs

Diploma in Cartography and GIS

This course involve the art and science of graphically representing a geographical area, usually on a flat surface such as a map or chart. It may involve the superimposition of political, cultural, or other none geographical divisions onto the representation of a geographical area. Geographical information Systems (GIS) was recently developed as a computer application capable of performing a wide range of functions of Cartography. GIS is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present all types of geographical data.

Career Opportunities: Cartographers are required in:- conservation, government, the military, publishing, surveying, health, research, agriculture, mining etc. With GIS graduates from this course are required in almost all fields.

Diploma in Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing

This course involves the use of a 3-dimensional coordinate measuring technique that uses photographs as the fundamental medium for metrology (or measurement). The fundamental principle used by Photogrammetry is triangulation or more specifically called Aerial Triangulation.Remote Sensing is the scanning of the earth by satellite, high-flying aircraft, LIDAR in order to obtain information about it.

Career opportunities: Photogrammetry services in topographic mapping is well established but in recent years the technique has been widely applied in the fields of architecture, industry, engineering, forensic, underwater, medicine, geology and many others for the production of precise 3D data.
